A woman had an entire airplane to herself after her first flight was canceled and she was accidentally booked onto a new one meant for moving the plane's crew.

The woman, who identified herself only as Beth, uploaded a photo of herself on the empty plane on Reddit on Tuesday morning.

She was flying from Rochester, New York, to Ronald Reagan International Airport in Washington, D.C. and the only people with her on the 70-minute flight were the two pilots and a flight attendant, who were flying to their next job.

Flying solo! A woman who identified herself only as Beth ended up traveling from Rochester, New York, to Ronald Reagan International Airport in Washington, D.C., on an empty plane

The aircraft was small, with a row of two seats on one side and rows of one on the other.

Beth said her original flight was set for eight hours earlier, but when it was canceled, staff booked a new one flying out of Rochester after midnight.

The rest of the people who had their flight re-booked were told by staff they could take an earlier flight, but Beth had returned home for a few hours to spend time with her parents, so she missed the memo.

She explained on Reddit: 'I realized something was wrong when I was the only one in the waiting area 45 minutes before take off.

'One of the airport agents came over while I was waiting and asked if that was the flight I was waiting for then said 'I knew this would happen'.

'When my flight was canceled about 8 hours earlier a confused agent gave me and half the passengers a seat for the plane in the pic before another agent realized everyone could go on an earlier flight.

'They made an announcement on the speaker but I'd already left to go back to my parent's house nearby to wait for the next few hours. I was never contacted about the flight change.'

When she got on the flight, she chose a row third from the front so she could give enough space between herself and the flight attendant.

'It seemed far enough away that if the flight attendant was taking care of something in the front it wouldn't wake me up and close enough that if she had to tell me something she wouldn't have to shout or walk far,' Beth said.

Despite being the only passenger, Beth said the flight staff still discussed safety measures and asked if she would like any food or drink.

Neither captain or the flight attendant had seen such a flight before, Beth said.

After sharing her story on Reddit, Beth's post quickly went viral with nearly 5,000 users commenting on her picture in less than 24 hours.

The majority of people wanted to know more details, like did she get as many snacks as she wanted and if she watched the safety demo.

Revealing all, Beth explained that the safety demo did run, but that the flight attendant went through it faster than usual and they both had to avoid awkward eye contact as they kept bursting into 'awkward giggles'.

But because it was a short flight, she didn't ask for anything to eat or drink, despite being offered.

While Beth's aviation etiquette was exemplary, Redditors had other ideas and shared what they would have done if they were put in the same situation.

User thathypnicjerk wrote: 'I hope you took full advantage of this and stretched out, laughed loudly at the in flight entertainment and farted as much as possible. Kicked a few seat backs while you were at it.'

And BeautifulRock typed: 'I would hit the request service button on every seat except mine, and just shake my head when they ask if I need anything?'

While user RelatableChad asked: 'Did you at least run up and down the aisle?'
